I know in Canada they have a media blackout for each timezone until polls close (or are almost closed). The assumption is people will change their vote based on early counts.
However, that may have changed with the internet since you can't stop anyone from getting early results.
Edit: yup, looks like Canada stopped that back in 2014 [1]
